Struct clap::parser::ArgMatches
source · pub struct ArgMatches { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
Container for parse results.
Used to get information about the arguments that were supplied to the program at runtime by
the user. New instances of this struct are obtained by using the Command::get_matches
family of
methods.
Examples
let matches = Command::new("MyApp")
.arg(Arg::new("out")
.long("output")
.required(true)
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.default_value("-"))
.arg(Arg::new("cfg")
.short('c')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches(); // builds the instance of ArgMatches
// to get information about the "cfg" argument we created, such as the value supplied we use
// various ArgMatches methods, such as [ArgMatches::get_one]
if let Some(c) = matches.get_one::<String>("cfg") {
println!("Value for -c: {}", c);
}
// The ArgMatches::get_one method returns an Option because the user may not have supplied
// that argument at runtime. But if we specified that the argument was "required" as we did
// with the "out" argument, we can safely unwrap because `clap` verifies that was actually
// used at runtime.
println!("Value for --output: {}", matches.get_one::<String>("out").unwrap());
// You can check the presence of an argument's values
if matches.contains_id("out") {
// However, if you want to know where the value came from
if matches.value_source("out").expect("checked contains_id") == ValueSource::CommandLine {
println!("`out` set by user");
} else {
println!("`out` is defaulted");
}
}
Implementations§
source§impl ArgMatches
impl ArgMatches
sourcepub fn get_one<T: Any + Clone + Send + Sync + 'static>(
&self,
id: &str
) -> Option<&T>
pub fn get_one<T: Any + Clone + Send + Sync + 'static>(
&self,
id: &str
) -> Option<&T>
Gets the value of a specific option or positional argument.
i.e. an argument that takes an additional value at runtime.
Returns an error if the wrong type was used.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.
NOTE: This will always return Some(value)
if default_value
has been set.
ArgMatches::value_source
can be used to check if a value is present at runtime.
Panic
If the argument definition and access mismatch. To handle this case programmatically, see
ArgMatches::try_get_one
.
Examples
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("port")
.value_parser(value_parser!(usize))
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.required(true))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "2020"]);
let port: usize = *m
.get_one("port")
.expect("`port`is required");
assert_eq!(port, 2020);

sourcepub fn get_raw(&self, id: &str) -> Option<RawValues<'_>>
pub fn get_raw(&self, id: &str) -> Option<RawValues<'_>>
Iterate over the original argument values.
An OsStr
on Unix-like systems is any series of bytes, regardless of whether or not they
contain valid UTF-8. Since String
s in Rust are guaranteed to be valid UTF-8, a valid
filename on a Unix system as an argument value may contain invalid UTF-8.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.

Returns the value of a specific option or positional argument.
i.e. an argument that takes an additional value at runtime.
Returns an error if the wrong type was used. No item will have been removed.
Returns None

sourcepub fn contains_id(&self, id: &str) -> bool
pub fn contains_id(&self, id: &str) -> bool
Check if values are present for the argument or group id
NOTE: This will always return true
if default_value

ArgMatches::value_source
can be used to check if a value is present at runtime.
Panics
If id
is is not a valid argument or group name. To handle this case programmatically, see
ArgMatches::try_contains_id

sourcepub fn index_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<usize>
pub fn index_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<usize>
The first index of that an argument showed up.
Indices are similar to argv indices, but are not exactly 1:1.
For flags (i.e. those arguments which don’t have an associated value), indices refer
to occurrence of the switch, such as -f
, or --flag
. However, for options the indices
refer to the values -o val
would therefore not represent two distinct indices, only the
index for val
would be recorded. This is by design.
Besides the flag/option discrepancy, the primary difference between an argv index and clap index, is that clap continues counting once all arguments have properly separated, whereas an argv index does not.
The examples should clear this up.
NOTE: If an argument is allowed multiple times, this method will only give the first
index. See ArgMatches::indices_of
.
Panics
If id
is is not a valid argument or group id.
Examples
The argv indices are listed in the comments below. See how they correspond to the clap
indices. Note that if it’s not listed in a clap index, this is because it’s not saved in
in an ArgMatches
struct for querying.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-f", "-o", "val"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3
// clap indices: ^1 ^3
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(3));
Now notice, if we use one of the other styles of options:
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-f", "-o=val"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2
// clap indices: ^1 ^3
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(3));
Things become much more complicated, or clear if we look at a more complex combination of flags. Let’s also throw in the final option style for good measure.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag2")
.short('F')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag3")
.short('z')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-fzF", "-oval"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2
// clap indices: ^1,2,3 ^5
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -f -z -F -o val'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag2"), Some(3));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag3"), Some(2));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(5));
One final combination of flags/options to see how they combine:
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag2")
.short('F')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag3")
.short('z')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-fzFoval"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^1,2,3^5
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -f -z -F -o val'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag2"), Some(3));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag3"), Some(2));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(5));
The last part to mention is when values are sent in multiple groups with a delimiter.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.value_delimiter(',')
.num_args(1..))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o=val1,val2,val3"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^2 ^3 ^4
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -o val1 val2 val3'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(2));
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2, 3, 4]);
sourcepub fn indices_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<Indices<'_>>
pub fn indices_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<Indices<'_>>
All indices an argument appeared at when parsing.
Indices are similar to argv indices, but are not exactly 1:1.
For flags (i.e. those arguments which don’t have an associated value), indices refer
to occurrence of the switch, such as -f
, or --flag
. However, for options the indices
refer to the values -o val
would therefore not represent two distinct indices, only the
index for val
would be recorded. This is by design.
NOTE: For more information about how clap indices compared to argv indices, see
ArgMatches::index_of
Panics
If id
is is not a valid argument or group id.
Examples
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.value_delimiter(','))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o=val1,val2,val3"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^2 ^3 ^4
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -o val1 val2 val3'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2, 3, 4]);
Another quick example is when flags and options are used together
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.action(ArgAction::Append))
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::Count))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o", "val1", "-f", "-o", "val2", "-f"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6
// clap indices: ^2 ^3 ^5 ^6
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2, 5]);
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("flag").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[6]);
One final example, which is an odd case; if we don’t use value delimiter as we did with
the first example above instead of val1
, val2
and val3
all being distinc values, they
would all be a single value of val1,val2,val3
, in which case they’d only receive a single
index.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.num_args(1..))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o=val1,val2,val3"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^2
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -o "val1,val2,val3"'
// ^0 ^1 ^2
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2]);
source§impl ArgMatches
impl ArgMatches
sourcepub fn subcommand(&self) -> Option<(&str, &ArgMatches)>
pub fn subcommand(&self) -> Option<(&str, &ArgMatches)>
The name and ArgMatches
of the current subcommand.
Subcommand values are put in a child ArgMatches
Returns None
if the subcommand wasn’t present at runtime,
Examples
let app_m = Command::new("git")
.subcommand(Command::new("clone"))
.subcommand(Command::new("push"))
.subcommand(Command::new("commit"))
.get_matches();
match app_m.subcommand() {

Some(("push", sub_m)) => {}, // push was used
Some(("commit", sub_m)) => {}, // commit was used
_ => {}, // Either no subcommand or one not tested for...
}
Another useful scenario is when you want to support third party, or external, subcommands. In these cases you can’t know the subcommand name ahead of time, so use a variable instead with pattern matching!
// Assume there is an external subcommand named "subcmd"
let app_m = Command::new("myprog")
.allow_external_subcommands(true)
.get_matches_from(vec![
"myprog", "subcmd", "--option", "value", "-fff", "--flag"
]);
// All trailing arguments will be stored under the subcommand's sub-matches using an empty
// string argument name
match app_m.subcommand() {
Some((external, sub_m)) => {
let ext_args: Vec<&OsStr> = sub_m.get_many::<OsString>("")
.unwrap().map(|s| s.as_os_str()).collect();

sourcepub fn remove_subcommand(&mut self) -> Option<(String, ArgMatches)>
pub fn remove_subcommand(&mut self) -> Option<(String, ArgMatches)>
Return the name and ArgMatches
of the current subcommand.
Subcommand values are put in a child ArgMatches
Returns None
if the subcommand wasn’t present at runtime,
Examples
let mut app_m = Command::new("git")
.subcommand(Command::new("clone"))
.subcommand(Command::new("push"))
.subcommand(Command::new("commit"))
.subcommand_required(true)
.get_matches();
let (name, sub_m) = app_m.remove_subcommand().expect("required");
match (name.as_str(), sub_m) {
("clone", sub_m) => {}, // clone was used
("push", sub_m) => {}, // push was used
("commit", sub_m) => {}, // commit was used
(name, _) => unimplemented!("{}", name),
}
Another useful scenario is when you want to support third party, or external, subcommands. In these cases you can’t know the subcommand name ahead of time, so use a variable instead with pattern matching!
// Assume there is an external subcommand named "subcmd"
let mut app_m = Command::new("myprog")
.allow_external_subcommands(true)
.get_matches_from(vec![
"myprog", "subcmd", "--option", "value", "-fff", "--flag"
]);
// All trailing arguments will be stored under the subcommand's sub-matches using an empty
// string argument name
match app_m.remove_subcommand() {
Some((external, mut sub_m)) => {
let ext_args: Vec<OsString> = sub_m.remove_many("")
.expect("`file`is required")
.collect();
assert_eq!(external, "subcmd");
assert_eq!(ext_args, ["--option", "value", "-fff", "--flag"]);
},
_ => {},
}
sourcepub fn subcommand_matches(&self, name: &str) -> Option<&ArgMatches>
pub fn subcommand_matches(&self, name: &str) -> Option<&ArgMatches>
The ArgMatches
for the current subcommand.
Subcommand values are put in a child ArgMatches
Returns None
if the subcommand wasn’t present at runtime,
Panics
If id
is is not a valid subcommand.
Examples
let app_m = Command::new("myprog")
.arg(Arg::new("debug")
.short('d')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue)
)
.subcommand(Command::new("test")
.arg(Arg::new("opt")

// Both parent commands, and child subcommands can have arguments present at the same times
assert!(*app_m.get_one::<bool>("debug").expect("defaulted by clap"));
// Get the subcommand's ArgMatches instance
if let Some(sub_m) = app_m.subcommand_matches("test") {
// Use the struct like normal
assert_eq!(sub_m.get_one::<String>("opt").map(|s| s.as_str()), Some("val"));
}
sourcepub fn subcommand_name(&self) -> Option<&str>
pub fn subcommand_name(&self) -> Option<&str>
The name of the current subcommand.
Returns None
if the subcommand wasn’t present at runtime,
Examples
let app_m = Command::new("git")
.subcommand(Command::new("clone"))
.subcommand(Command::new("push"))
.subcommand(Command::new("commit"))
.get_matches();
